A chain-free, top-floor three-bedroom maisonette offered at £180,000 with immediate vacant possession. The property is leasehold with 103 years remaining and benefits from communal heating and hot water covered in the service charge — useful for predictable running costs. The internal layout provides a living room, fitted kitchen, family bathroom and separate W/C across a compact but practical 991 sq ft footprint.
The location is convenient for local amenities, schools and city transport links in Leicester LE2, making it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. On-street parking serves the block and the building is double-glazed (installed before 2002). Expect typical mid-20th-century construction and modest room sizes: the exterior appears dated and cosmetic updating is likely required in places.
Important factual points: the annual service charge is comparatively high at £3,181.86 (but includes heating and hot water), ground rent is £10 per year, and the neighbourhood shows higher crime levels and pronounced area deprivation. These factors will affect insurance, lettability and resale pricing and should be reviewed alongside full photographs, EPC and legal pack before proceeding.
